Best affordable salon with unique braiding hair styles
This has always been my go to for anything that has to do with braiding. They are located off Ngong Road on Menelik road a building by the name Menelik suites. It is easily accessible by mat (50/= from town to Adam’s acarde) or Uber. Though, when you go by mat, you’ll have to walk for approximately 15min or you can panda boda. The salon offers a variety of services from braiding, weaving,nail manicures and pedicures plus barber services for the gents. I would say this salon is very affordable with a price range between Ksh.500-5500. They operate between 9am-6pm everyday except Sundays. Services are on appointment basis, so I made sure to book a 9am appointment 2days before. I noticed they already had 2 customers by the time I was getting in…meaning they are flexible with their time. I have to say i love the new revamped space..it looks more chic and beautiful. They have a wall dedicated to different braid sizes and colors for you to choose from. I love that their braid prices are very pocket friendly (Ksh.70-400) so you don’t need to buy braids from supermarket. Whenever i go for braiding i always make sure to have washed+treated my hair the day before just so i can save on time and money. They charge 1500/= for treatment and when i go to my local salon i pay 300/=. Sarah was the person braiding me and she is very kind,fast and gentle on the scalp…I didn’t even get that headache you get after braiding. We were done within 1.5hrs. I paid 2080/= for the cornrows inclusive of braids. The owner of the space loved the design so much she decided to post my look on their Instagram page. I would recommend this salon 100%. They cater to young children too so please don’t miss out in bringing your little ones to get bomb hair styles. I am looking forward to getting River locs for my birthday in June
